Zone Shaded X (formerly Zone B) – moderate-risk zone (0.2% annual chance flood) Zone AO – areas of shallow flooding
Zone AE – high-risk zone (1% annual chance Flood)
Zone VE – coastal high-hazard zone

5 Reasons to Make Your Bed Every Day

I completely agree with this article that I recently read. There's nothing like walking in your room and the bed is made. It feels so refreshing, and it's even better to get into bed when it's been made! What do you prefer?

You probably know all the excuses, and may have used one (or more) yourself:
